    Well this is a 100% Democrat problem. We are happy with our law enforcement in conservative areas, very happy. Not sure why the Democrats can't figure out how to do civilization but they apparently can't. Do whatever the hell you want, I don't care, it is your problem to fix, FIX IT (and without my resources)!

    No doubt in my mind that it was the policeman’s knee that was the fatal blow. The video is totally damning.

    Because fentanyl poisoning is easily recovered from, correct?

    Yeah... but it's also a no-spam site. And there are some who would consider posting the same irrelevant nonsense over and over "spam".

    I'll tell you one thing: you have absolutely NO understanding of how this country works. I don't know why you pretend that you do.

    In this country black people quickly learn what it is they should be prepared for when they encounter police. They are usually taught by their parents when they are young.

    But if their parents don't teach them, the police will

    Black Lives Matter Sometimes BLMS because black lives don't matter all the time to what is called the BLM group.

    I'm sure there are people who are not pulled out of their cars because of their skin color might be "happy". But those that are pulled out are not. And they have a legitimate complain. Which will not go away simply because you're "happy"

    But WHY were they pulled over and then pulled out? If for no reason then YES they have a legitimate complaint, if for being uncooperative aholes then my heart bleeds.

    No. There was definitely a reason: because they were black.

    That 6 year old sure looked like she was threatening the poor defenseless cop's ear-drums by screaming in terror.

    Look. There is a racism problem in this country. Some of it is institutional racism, some just individual racist cops. That is not going to go away just because you deny that it exists. In fact, it will get worse. The Floyd protests are NOT the last time you're going to see this. Even if you don't have a brain-dead President* like the current one to make them worse, they will get worse only because black people will grow angrier as this is not solved. And justifiably so.

    If it's death that's they prepare for, then it's an unfounded fear. Okay, so I was completely correct to highly doubt that you would be able to produce a stat which says that anywhere CLOSE to the majority of police interactions end up with the cop killing someone! :roflol:

    Yeah.... why don't you go tell that to George Floyd? Or his family.

    You don't know what you're talking about, and you waste our time....

    Stop pretending that he either wasn't insanely high on drugs causing paranoia, or he was, but it's not the most likely reason for his paranoia.

    AS I see it... (The new emerging video) police were, in hindsight '20-20' much better if they had let that raving large man (George Floyd) flail away at them, on his own two feet until he collapsed under his own fyntonl / drug induced psychosis... But we can't have that in a 'system' where all perpetrators are arrested equally - right? ... What happened next (after this below video ends) is for the courts to decide... (& the evidence is apparently compelling / damning for the police~!) I didn't see the aftermath - but have obviously herd about it... Appalling!

    (When I'm arrested I'll similarly expect for the cardiac arresting drugs I'm on... to work through my system prior to being placed in a patrol car...)

    - Better yet, I'll move to Mayor De blasio's NY where I can get released from jail - in the aftermath of it all (should I live)...



    Believe it or not y'all this has nothing to do with race, creed or culture... this is a legit arrest, gone dreadfully wrong... & the courts ARE hopefully holding the 'wrongdoers' accountable...

    Well, not even the Attorney General of Minnesota believes that it did, otherwise he would've thrown in a hate crime charge too.

    My understanding is that Floyd was in the police vehicle and the police inexplicably removed him when they should have taken him to the station where he would have been in a controlled environment.

    Doesn’t matter though.

    This stopped being about Floyd almost immediately.

    Well a gun wasn't SHOVED in his face as you suggest, but a gun was pointed at him, and as far as I can tell, this is because he wouldn't show his hands.

    You actually don't know anything about this case do you, other than Floyd died.

    Clearly Floyd was under the influence of something. A few months ago I watched the Amsterdam police. (5 of them) detain a particularly aggressive man in the street. It took about 5 minutes to get him cuffed and they even did that knee thing. But after he was cuffed, they literally picked him up and literally threw him into a police van and then they were gone.

    Floyd was already cuffed so I don’t know why these cops didn’t do the same thing.

    I and our Nation wish this were so! OMG the sorrow & countless lives...

    - But lets not forget one thing here~! "BLM" is NOT (necessarily) synonymous with one caring for (when it's all said & done / necessarily) 'black lives matter'!
    - I can advocate for black lives being mattered without being party to or contributing toward the "movement" & (imho) idealization of 'what this violent BLM movement has become.

    An inartful, yet sincere way of saying that "BLM" (the movement) isn't the same as caring for African American Lives in our sphere of influence...

    (USA Flag should be the ONLY flag on our school flag polls) MY damn tax dollars!
